Montreal are at home to host the New York Islanders (7-16-6) at the Bell Center. Montreal won 2-1 in their only meeting at the Barclays Center.


Montreal goes up 1-0 at 5:11 when LW Emile Boudreau pots a rebound of a LW Joey Mariani shot for his 11th of the season. LD Richard Nytra pounces on a loose puck and scores his 2nd of the year at 5:57 and a 2-0 lead. Just past 9 minutes in Montreal has all the momentum and the shots are 9-2 for the Habs. Despite that, Montreal cannot take further advantage and the period ends with Montreal up 2-0 and out shooting the Islanders 13-4.


Much like the 1st, Montreal does take control of the play in the 2nd, with the shots 17-8 in the period with about a minute left. Again the Habs cannot take advantage and the period ends with the same 2-0 lead and Montreal leading the shot clock 26-10.


Montreal does go up 3-0 at 11:51 when C Dean Casey redirects LW Randolph Lott's shot, his 5th of the year while the teams were 4 on 4. Montreal does shut down the Islanders the rest of the way and G Bill Wolfenbarger makes 21 saves for the shut out. The finals shots are 36-21 for Montreal.
